SUMMARY:Lecture: Sculpting the Past: Art\, Identity\, and Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:Join Kelley Di Dio\, PhD\, for a lecture entitled “Sculpting the Past: Art\, Identity\, and Commemoration in Public Space”\n\n\nKelley H. Di Dio\, Rush C. Hawkins Professor of Art History at the University of Vermont\, discusses the issues around public commemoration of the past\, with a particular focus on the Southern United States. Her talk forms part of the Edwin L. Weisl\, Jr. Lectureships in Art History\, funded by the Robert Lehman Foundation.\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition: Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy (organized by The New York Historical) explores monuments and their representations in public spaces as flashpoints of fierce debate over national identity\, politics\, and race that have raged for centuries. Offering a historical foundation for understanding today’s controversies\, the exhibition features fragments of a statue of King George III torn down by American Revolutionaries\, a souvenir replica of a bulldozed monument by Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage\, and a maquette of New York City’s first public monument to a Black woman\, Harriet Tubman\, among other objects from The New York Historical’s collection. The exhibition reveals how monument-making and monument-breaking have long shaped American life as public statues have been celebrated\, attacked\, protested\, altered\, and removed.
